Opendedup – Open Source Storage Deduplication for the masses

by

June 20, 2010

Opendedup is Storage Deduplication for the common man (or woman).

From the Opendedup.org website…

The main features of SDFS are:

  • Reduced Storage Utilization – SDFS Deduplication can reduce storage utilization by up to 90%-95%
  • Scalability – SDFS can dedup a Petabyte or more of data. Over 3TB per gig of memory at 128k chunk size.
  • Speed – SDFS can perform deduplication/redup at line speed 290 MB/S+
  • VMWare support – Work with vms – can dedup at 4k block sized. This is required to dedup Virtual Machines effectively
  • Flexible storage – deduplicated data can be stored locally, on the network across multiple nodes, or in the cloud.
  • Inline and Batch Mode deduplication – The file system can dedup inline or periodically based on needs. This can be changed on the fly
  • File and Folder Snapshot support – Support for file or folder level snapshots.
This looks like it has some real potential for the lab environment, especially for those who cannot afford commercial-grade solutions like NetApp.

Its groundbreaking design requires no local configuration or management, has virtually no attack surface for malware, auto-discovers XenDesktop right out of the box, and launches a full Windows desktop in seconds. For the first time, IT decision-makers will not have to make tradeoffs in endpoint simplicity, security and end user performance.
